I am just about 3 weeks post op gastric bypass and looking for more ideas of pureed foods. I am so tired of eggs, refried beans and yogurt. I'm going to try the ricotta bake and smoothies tomorrow, but still need a few ideas to keep it interesting. Can't tolerate tofu or fat free gravy and not allowed to have meat yet. Thanks in advance

Have you tried baby food sweet potatoes or meat and gravy are good but it is still puréed.

I've tried the fruit ones so far. Not a fan of sweet potatoes

If u are cooking for family or anyone else just purée some for you

I puréed carrots, cauliflower and reg sweet potatoes. I added vanilla flavored protein powder and cinnamon to the carrots and sweet potatoes. I added unsweetened protein powder to the cauliflower. I also puréed chicken breast and added it to the seasoned water I cooked it in.

I hear you Lauratro. I just graduated to soft yesterday. I was so tired of eggs and beans. I did add canned chicken with a bit of mayo or canned tuna with avocado.

I just couldn't fathom the idea of pureeing regular food.

Get some Trim & Healthy Mama Integral Collagen. It has no flavor, is high in protein & you can put it on or in anything. (No, I don't work for them)

How about pimento cheese? It's been a staple for me. I never actually pureed anything. I just had softish food like yogurt, canned chicken, pimento and ricotta cheese and chewed thoroughly.

I have done oatmeal with low carb high protein milk. Then add a scoop of either flavored protein or unflavored..
You can also do a mix of beans, mild cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, a touch of light sour cream and even add some chipotle sauce to add a little kick..
also do chicken with sourcream and some chipotle. I understand you completely as i was also getting fed up eating the same things over and over

I just made the Cottage cheese bake from the Baritastic app & it was good (and I don't like cottage cheese!) I just added a little sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano shredded cheese to the top (looked like it needed it towards end of baking).

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
2 whole eggs
10 oz pack of frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
½ cup Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In large bowl, mix all ingredients together well.
Place evenly into 8x8 pan.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese bubbles on outside.
Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic as desired.

Hello!
I bought a bariactric cookbook from Amazon. I tried the cottage recipe which called for sprinkling a little homemade Taco seasoning(recipe for the taco seasoning is in the book too) & it was pretty good! So when my daughter made tacos for dinner I used that recipe to help curb that desire to eat what my family was eating![emoji4]

How funny! We were talking about this yesterday! How we love to make the ricotta bake using cottage cheese cuz growing up our mom's made lasagna with cottage cheese, not ricotta! So tonight we're making a lasagna bake (without pasta) with cottage cheese again. It was soooo good!

At 5 wk post op I just started to puree the meals my daughter or I would cook! Stuff like chicken with veggies, cauliflower mashed potato. Cowboy Casserole with cauliflower cheese tater tots! Now that im a few days to reaching wk 7 I still like to puree my foods only because it mixes the flavorings of the seasonings that I use so well! Yumm! Tastes so Gooood![emoji6][emoji16]

Hello OmaJ
The name of the cookbook is called "Fresh Start Bariactric Cookbook" by Sarah Kent.
I hope this book will be helpful to you as it is for me! It has recipes from all stages of eating. Like the Liquid to Full Liquids, pureed/soft food to the last stage of general eating.
